I Spied On The Far-Left For 5 Years: Psychologist Exposes Dangers Of The Ideological Cult — "The problem is so much worse than people think it is," says Dr. Karlyn Borysenko. For the last 5 years, Karlyn has been going undercover to infiltrate far-left meetings, online events, and activist groups. What she discovered was a highly organized, highly intelligent subculture operating as a decentralized "ideological cult."
Dr. Drew asks how a movement can be a cult without a charismatic leader. Karlyn breaks down the terrifying reality of this non-hierarchical echo chamber: from controlling unions and corporate DEI, to using "book clubs" to reinforce radical propaganda, she explains why it is so difficult to cut the head off a snake that has no head.

"My Side Went Crazy": Why Dr. Karlyn Borysenko Left The Left To Spy On Radical Meetings — What happens when social justice politics invades a knitting community? For Karlyn Borysenko, a lifelong Democrat and Bernie Sanders voter, it was the wake-up call that changed her life. Wondering "why has my own side gone crazy," Karlyn began questioning the ideology she had supported for 20 years. As an organizational psychologist, she started doing deep dives into corporate DEI trainings. What she found sent her down a rabbit hole that ultimately led her to go undercover and infiltrate the radical, revolutionary far-left to expose the roots of these toxic ideas.

"Obama Was Fine!" Jiaoying Summers on Rich Husband Divorce, Raising Our Future President -- In this hilariously unfiltered 'therapy session' about her history of attracting narcissists, comedian Jiaoying Summers exposes her "perfect on paper" ex-husband. Jiaoying explains why she isn't worried about raising her kids without a father: "Obama was fine! He has no dad!" Dr. Drew analyzes how manipulative partners control emotional systems just like mechanical ones, and why Jiaoying might just be raising the first Chinese-American president.

Now I Feel Bad For Bill Gates: How Epstein's Dark Psychology Manipulated World's Richest Man — Did Jeffrey Epstein use blackmail to control Bill Gates, or was it something much more sinister? Sayer Ji shocks Dr. Drew with revelations from leaked Epstein files, including legally binding contracts that gave the convicted predator the equivalent of "power of attorney" over Gates' science advisor—and access to confidential information about Melinda Gates.
In a surprising twist, Dr. Drew and Sayer Ji express empathy for the Microsoft founder. Dr. Drew breaks down the "dark psychology" at play, explaining how Epstein didn't just use standard blackmail, but appears to have thoroughly manipulated the man who was (at the time) the wealthiest person on the planet.

"Epstein receives an email from Bill Gates informing him that he's about to have a meeting with Obama..." reports Sayer Ji, revealing a stunning timeline buried in the leaked Epstein files. During the Ebola crisis, Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein were allegedly corresponding about private meetings with the Obama administration. At the same time, the UN Security Council and the WHO laid down a rigid "public emergency" structure that treated health crises like military security threats. Coincidence?
Sayer and Dr. Drew break down how this authoritarian blueprint laid the groundwork for the 2020 COVID lockdowns. Dr. Drew issues a stark warning about the unconstitutional "loophole" that allowed global health systems to strip Americans of their Constitutional rights, leading to forced masking and "shelter in place" mandates.

Leaked contracts show Jeffrey Epstein & Bill Gates had a business alliance to profit from global pandemics almost a decade before they came to pass, says Sayer Ji. He exposes the Gates-connected scandal hidden within the Epstein files and an alliance to build a financial "super structure" in a new model of "philanthro-capitalism" involving JP Morgan bank.

Journalist hopes the House Oversight Committee requests Bill Gates testify on his Jeffrey Epstein ties, amid ongoing probes into Epstein’s elite network. We discussed Epstein’s 2011 advisory role to JPMorgan on Gates-linked pandemic investment funds, blending sympathy for Gates’ entanglement with critiques of manipulative “dark psychology” in those dealings. Newly released DOJ Epstein files, analyzed by Ji, reveal a 20-year timeline of financial architectures treating pandemics as profitable ventures. Drdrew.tv.
